Errrm, we already do! When you are sat in a traffic queue, you are
burning fuel and paying 57.95p/L Fuel Duty and 20% VAT on top of
that for the privilege.

Those using the roads more, pay more.

Errrm, we already do! More miles = more fuel used = more Fuel Duty
and VAT paid.

We need to change road users' behaviour by encouraging
different working times.

Well, seeing as a lot of working people arrange their work around
school times, you will need to get schools to stagger their
start/finish times. Hang on; staff have kids at different schools,
heck, some even have two kids in the same family at different
schools.....bugger!

We predict gridlock due to the expanding number of vehicles
"on the road".

Fuck right off with your twisting of statistics. Example 1 - ME. I
currently have three cars instead of one, ten years ago. I can
still only drive one fucker at a time though, so that's two more
taxed but no more "on the road" - in fact they are, to be pedantic,
at least two of them are at any one time"on DocJock's drive"
Example 2. - The increase in the number of cars taxed is not
matched by a corresponding increase in the number of drivers. The
number of driving licences held is actually falling.

Do these morons actually believe we enjoy sitting/crawling along in
congestion? If they thought about it they would realise that it is
self-limiting. Sooner or later Joe Bloggs is going to say to
himself, "sod this for a game of soldiers" and either find himself
an alternative route, get on the bus (hahahaha), work from home,
change jobs, or move house.

Why don't they tell the truth? Gordon Brown has dug himself into a
big, deep, financial hole and wants to bale himself out by taxing
the fuck out of us, the car drivers. If they can get a wee gizmo in
all our cars to track our movements, even better! Of course that
would never be used to measure our speeds and issue fines. Oh no,
no Sir..................... Liar, liar, pants on

Don't stand for it. Write/email MPs and Govt Ministers, support the
anti-roadpricing campaigns, and join the ABD.
